I have no clue whether this would work but I don't think the average DVD player would know what to do with it. When you suggest simply burning the file to DVD what exactly do you mean? Are you suggesting to burn a 24/96 wav file to the DVD as a datafile? Unfortunately, they do not have any need to do what I am trying to do and are not much help other than offering encouragement. (It's great to have some accommodating industry connections that will let me borrow some toys). It isn't a function of the cost of the software. I also have discWelder Chrome to play with (a $3,000 bit of DVD-A authoring software), Sony's Vegas, DVD Architect (DVD-V mastering), a number of others. This is the part I am very comfortable with. to convert any format audio file so this part is easy. I have the appropriate SRCs, dithering software, etc. Even AIX records, which specializes in 24/96 DVD-A recordings states "All of our DVD products are playable on DVD-Audio and DVD-Video machines (although the high-resolution audio is limited to the new DVD-Audio players)." What I seek to accomplish may not be possible. However, while the DVD-A spec allows for (and encourages) a DVD-video section to make such discs universally playable, the DVD-V portion is mirrored in Dolby Digital AC3, a lossy format. Thus, no track to track comparison is possible.ĭVD-A authoring software sometimes allows mirroring the DVD-A to a DVD-V portion of the DVD. That is, all of the authoring software I have access to will allow the creation of a DVD-V with a given sample rate and bit depth (say 24/96) but then up samples and down samples all tracks to meet this bit depth. However, DVD-V authoring software typically does not allow for the sample and bit depth to be changed. (I will require listeners to close their eyes so this will be a blind test).ĭVD-V specs allow for uncompressed PCM audio. I am trying to create a DVD-V disc with a variety of uncompressed audio tracks to enable comparing, for example, 24/96 and 16/44 tracks of the same recording. Does anyone here know of DVD-V authoring software that will allow placing varying sample rate and bit depth stereo PCM audio tracks on a DVD-V?
